Wealthy mindset subject of seminar
Millionaire Mind event expected to attract hundreds to Cobo for tips on peak potential.
Maureen McDonald / Special to The Detroit News
DETROIT -- More than 700 people are expected to fill the riverfront ballroom of Cobo Center this weekend when Doug Nelson leads a highly energized group in dances, pledges, games and visualizations to make money through the Millionaire Mind Intensive formula.
"Becoming wealthy is not about big cars," laughs Nelson, 38, who lives in Dallas and teaches Millionaire Mind workshops around the world for the Vancouver-based Peak Potentials Training Inc., and drives a Corvette. "It's about being ready to accept life on its terms. Chances are it's going to rain someday; having an ark already built is a good idea."
What changes for people?
"I literally walked out the door with greater focus and clarity for how to take our business to the next level in order to live with purpose, passion and prosperity," said Jill Jordan, co-owner of Smart Women's Coaching in Farmington Hills, who attended twice before.
Here are a few answers from Nelson on the economy and increasing wealth:
Q . Detroit has an image of an auto industry is in turmoil, growing job cuts and city scandals. How can you turn this image around?
A . The people in Detroit are harder on themselves than the rest of the country. Many cities are affected by problems with dwindling manufacturing jobs. Other towns booted out their mayors. Tough situations, not positive situations, capture the national attention. Remember, Detroit could become the world leader for building automobiles with alternative energy.
Q . Do you see the nation's economy situation as cyclical?
A . Yes. After every major recession and depression comes expansion. It goes up and down with frequency. This economy will turn around. Before then, set the stage for capitalizing on the turnaround. How you educate yourself now will determine what happens. Detroiters have an opportunity to lead the country in a different, a positive direction.
Q . How do people cope with the sky-falling bad news?
A . You ought to be out there selling umbrellas to protect people from falling shards of sky. Look up. Everything is on sale right now. Buy foreclosed houses or cheap stock. Rockefeller made millions during the Depression. Rich people look for opportunities this situation left behind.
Q . What do you call a financial blueprint?
A . T. Harv Eker, founder of this work and author of "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind," found people's beliefs, habits and traits, confidence levels had direct impact on their ability to produce and maintain money. Eker identified exercises to uncover individual beliefs and declarations you recite every day to shift your mind into the game of wealth.
Q . What do I do with this blueprint?
A . I've come very close to dying in a natural gas accident in 2003. If I learned anything, it was the gift of life. I don't sweat the small stuff. I know I can generate money. If I share any lesson, it is to tell people to write down their goals and set up an action plan. Do what engages their hearts. Now is the time. In three or four years, tops, the economy will rebound.

Jimmy Williams: How To Make Money During A Recession
How To Make Money During A Recession
Though not permanent, an economic recession does have impacts in society, some of these effects are good while some are bad. Generally, in terms of work, the employment rate may go down. At this time, it is not exactly easy to find a job, since most companies are taking precautions about expenses. So how to make money during a recession?
But did you know that you can earn money even during a recession? Why waste your time in search of unavailable job openings when you can generate income for yourself with the help of the internet? The answer lies in internet marketing, a strategy that has provided benefits for millions of people around the world.
There are many disciplines that fall under internet marketing, and they all have the potential to generate you income, and you can also do so when you work from home. It does not take extensive computer experience or even a degree in programming to be able to reap the rewards of an effective internet marketing strategy.
Basically, internet marketing makes it possible for products and services to be advertised, seen by potential buyers, and purchased, and everything is done online. Through a well designed and effective website, and with network marketing techniques, you can easily reach a large number of people and make sales. Here are just some examples of ways by which internet and network marketing can make money for you, even during a recession.
Content is valuable across the web, as this determines if a certain website is relevant, informative, and is authoritative on a subject matter. This is why expert writing services are very much in demand. Article marketing involves the creation and selling of content specifically written for specialized niches or sites. You can make money by providing article writing services, or you can compose articles in a niche that you are adept in, and sell them online.
Aside from article marketing, another powerful strategy that helps generate income for work at home businessmen is affiliate marketing. Think of it as becoming a salesman for a specific product, and you come up with our own methods to be convincing and to encourage others to buy from you. Your rewards are determined based on how many you can sell.
In the realm of network marketing, product sellers seek the assistance of affiliates, who are just like online salesmen. Products that are sold in this way can be software, website memberships, e-books, and tons more. Affiliates put up ads and content on their own websites, contact as many people as possible through email, forums, blogs, and the like, and get them to buy the said product. Affiliates are then paid a generous commission for every successful sale they make.
As you can see, internet marketing gives you possibilities to work with. If you are resourceful and willing to exert the extra effort, you can make money even during the most trying times in an economic recession.
Jimmy Williams is one the internet's leading marketers, coach and mentor. He is famous for his unique ability to uncover new and innovative ways to harness the power of the internet.
Jimmy has long been known for his passion for learning and coaching. Jimmy learned in the early days of his career from some of the top trainers in internet marketing. Over the years, he has developed his instincts for a simple yet powerful marketing system based on his unique style and posture, which has been continuously refined over the years.

Home Based Business - Choose the Right Home Business Today is Guaranteed Financial Freedom Tomorrow By Cindy Floyd
Well let me tell you something; you really need to get over that. If you do your research you will find that many larger well known companies like Avon, Shaklee, NaturesOwn are all network marketing companies with very successful track records and many people respectfully making good yearly incomes.
How do you define a network marketing company?
In its simplest terms you have a product or service to sell, you contract with distributors to sell the product or service and give them a percentage based on their efforts. This is no different than the sales department of a large pharmaceutical company, or a manufacture like Xerox?
Most people get nervous because of a few highly publicized bad apples in the industry that took peoples money and never provided a legitimate product or service, absconded with the money and everyone was left high and dry. I guess we might say the same thing today about our mortgage lenders, who make loans to people knowing they could not pay them back and they walked off with commissions and large bonuses. Every business opportunity will or can produce bad apples, and none should be judged based on the ugly few.
The network marketing model is still a fantastic business model to provide you with a steady income stream especially in these slow economic times. If you spend some time doing your due diligence to find the right home business opportunity, you will reap huge dividends in the end.
How do you pick the right network marketing company?
The number one key is to know how long the company has been in business. If they are less than one year old you might want to wait. However, others will tell you if it's the right product it's best to get in on the ground floor. And financially that would be correct. You have to make that call based on the product or service.
Number two is the product something everyone wants or will use? Knowing that your product is in high demand will ensure longevity of the company. What industry is it in? Is it an industry that has a strong customer base and will allow you to produce niche products in the future? And don't worry about how much competition there is in the market, the more the merrier.
Last but certainly not least, what does the pay plan look like. Not all pay plans are made equally. Make sure you understand the plan thoroughly; many people are disillusioned after they spend money and time recruiting and selling to end up with pennies. That's a sure way to give up on the business opportunity and call the industry a scam.
So you shouldn't shy away from the network marketing industry. The model is sound and now is one of the best times to start your own home based business.
Much of your home business success is based on your marketing skills. If you would like to learn more about how you can become a successful online business entrepreneur visit my blog at http://www.BuildingOnlineBusinessSuccess.com

Slipping standard of living squeezes middle class
BY JOHN GALLAGHER Ron and Laurie Kopack are educated, hard-working suburban Detroit homeowners who, by American middle-class standards, should have earned comfortable family evenings, a little peace of mind and a few luxuries. Instead, they are struggling. Ron, an electrician, spent most of his summer living in a tent city while doing flood repairs in Iowa because he couldn't find work at home. Laurie, who just got a bachelor's degree but is paid only $15 per hour, faces $30,000 in student debt and a teenager coming of age with his dad often gone. "The whole American dream, that's a snow job," Laurie says. "I mean, who tried to sell us that? Is that to keep us good consumers?" Without question, the U.S. economy is an engine of prosperity that produces comfort and wealth admired worldwide. But the Kopacks' plight illustrates an uneasy truth for millions today: Our middle-class standard of living, a seemingly unstoppable vehicle that has carried generations from dirt-floor cabins to manicured suburban subdivisions, has sputtered and stalled. This is a long-term shift, under way long before this year's financial crisis made the economy the key issue in the presidential campaign. The common link is debt. It's swallowing family budgets, with the average household now owing more than $110,000 while saving only about $400 a year. Much of this decade's middle-class spending -- critical to the nation's economic growth -- has been fueled by borrowing. But forces other than debt are pulling down the standard of living. Increased borrowing has helped mask the fact that middle-class household incomes have stagnated for years as expenses rise from cradle to grave. Health care, college education, food and energy costs have risen far more rapidly than inflation. Retirement is riskier: One study -- done before the latest stock market dive stripped $2 trillion from retirement plans -- suggests eight in 10 workers face a lower living standard in retirement. So it is that in El Paso, Texas, Ivonne Moreno, 37, a single mother of two teens, crosses the border to Mexico to find cheaper doctors and medicines because she can't afford U.S. health care. In Tampa, Dalia Pereira, 59, a veteran ticket agent with Northwest Airlines, says cutbacks by the airline have reduced her pay to what agents made in 1996. And in rural Iowa, Scott Davis, 33, and his wife have become a three-income family -- she's a teacher while he farms and runs a trucking business -- yet they pinch pennies at the grocer, limit trips to town, eat out less and worry more. The implosion of major Wall Street firms has pushed the economy to the top of the news in recent weeks. But Wall Street isn't feeling any pain today that middle-income families haven't been struggling with for years. Americans' incomes were losing ground to inflation even in 2002-04, when the national economy was booming, gasoline was selling for $1.50 a gallon and subprime mortgages weren't yet a problem. With gas prices at record levels this year and families burdened with rising debt and falling home prices, the likelihood of Americans seeing their incomes keep pace with inflation grows less and less. Even so, many have faith in the economy's resilience. Certainly, the United States remains a wealthy country, the fruit of decades of innovation and hard work. Productivity, or output per worker per hour, has risen steadily for generations, thanks to new technology and higher education levels. For this reason, Dana Johnson, chief economist with Dallas-based Comerica Inc., says the free market will correct itself as it has in the past. "At the end of the day, we have an incredibly productive economy that's going to continue to get even more productive and evolve in reaction to the changing relative price of things," he says. "The idea that you would look to the future with the idea that standards of living in the United States are generally going to be lower is absurd to me." Others argue that unemployment and inflation remain modest by historical standards. But Jared Bernstein, an economist with the Washington, D.C.-based think tank Economic Policy Institute, says almost none of the new wealth created by rising productivity of recent years has made its way to the middle class -- the broad swath of U.S. households generally described as those making around $40,000 to $100,000 a year, although no official definition exists. Productivity has risen 20% since 2000, he notes, while working families' incomes lost ground to inflation in five of the past seven years. "What's really been violated here is that the bakers themselves, who have been baking a better pie, are ending up with smaller slices," Bernstein says. "We're not talking about the Great Depression," he adds. "We're not talking about massive homelessness. We're not even talking about huge losses. We are talking about stagnation, and we're also talking about inequality." Charles Ballard, an economist at Michigan State University, agrees that prosperity gains have gone mostly to those at the top. "This is a rising tide that has lifted about a quarter of the boats a lot, a quarter of the boats some, and the other half of the boats has essentially not been lifted at all," he says. Rising prices, debt Middle- and working-class Americans' standard of living has been buffeted by the disappearance of manufacturing jobs in states like Michigan, by aggressive marketing of consumer debt and by household incomes' failure since the late 1990s to keep up with inflation. From 1999 through mid-2008, the price of milk has risen 35%, ground beef 54%, eggs 128% and gasoline 244%, government data show. Yet middle-income Americans saw their yearly household incomes fall by $408 during that period when adjusted for inflation, the Census Bureau reports. Over that time, Americans turned more and more to credit. Credit card and other consumer debt, not counting the dramatic growth in mortgages, has soared 150% since 1994, more than four times faster than inflation, according to Federal Reserve Board data. The increasingly easy availability of credit to fuel consumer spending, which accounts for about 70% of the U.S. economy, has been important to growth as real income has stagnated. Consumers aren't hapless victims in the explosion of debt; not only rising costs, but also their expectations for how they should live have led them to take on debt -- for necessities and luxuries from cars to college educations, vacations and more. Most families are getting by -- even if the value of their home has fallen or a secure retirement program has been converted to a voluntary plan that is exposed to stock market swings. Still, economic worry and discontent has taken center stage as the country heads into the home stretch of the presidential campaign. Rising living standards are part of the American story. Over the past century, the steady growth created the middle class, defused economic unrest and helped the nation absorb millions of working-class and immigrant families into the mainstream. Against this backdrop, Jacob Hacker, a political scientist at the University of California at Berkeley who studies the risks facing Americans, says he sees a broad decline in the economic security of most Americans. "The unemployment rate or the inflation rate doesn't capture the degree to which people are at risk of losing their home, or see their finances crumbling, or the risk of high health costs without insurance coverage, or the risk of retiring without adequate income," he says. On the road For Ron and Laurie Kopack of Oak Park and millions like them, what philosopher and economist Adam Smith called the invisible hand -- the knack of free markets to reward effort and innovation -- has become an invisible fist, pummeling even those who show old-fashioned American grit. Certainly Ron, 53, is used to working hard. A unionized electrician who helped build the Chrysler Tech Center in Auburn Hills and the McNamara Terminal at Detroit Metro Airport, he has spent several months on the road this year, first in West Virginia and more recently in Iowa, seeking the jobs he cannot find at home. In Iowa, he worked 12-hour shifts, seven days a week, repairing flood damage at a Cargill grain plant in Cedar Rapids. Living in a small tent in a campground filled with itinerant electricians and other tradespeople, Ron says life on the road makes sense only when a job is big enough to pay lots of overtime. When the overtime runs out, he and the other nomads move on. In the meantime, his life, once focused on family and friends in Michigan, has shrunk to encompass little beyond long days of work and phone calls home. "I get back to the tent, by the time I eat and shower and maybe drink a beer, it's time to crash," Ron said this summer in Iowa. "Maybe I'll read for a half an hour. And then up at 3:30 or 4 in the morning. It's not the type of life I consistently want to do for a long time." Yet despite such effort, Ron, and Laurie, 50, a secretary at a college in Detroit, have been unable to put away savings toward retirement. They don't know how they'll pay for their son Leo's college tuition in a few years, particularly after going in debt for Laurie's recent college education. "We're not financial planners," Laurie says, sitting in the living room of the family's bungalow. "We haven't done everything right. But we certainly don't live extravagantly. Our vacations have been camping trips. ... I'm not begging on the corner. It hasn't come to that. We're just doing what it takes to get by. But it's not good, and it's not normal." It is startling for families like the Kopacks how different their lives feel from their upbringing. Laurie's father, a plumber, raised six children on one income while Laurie's mother stayed home with the children. Their family lived in a suburban waterfront house on popular Lake St. Clair and still managed to save money long-term. That secure, slowly improving family lifestyle, once so common as to virtually define America, has become increasingly hard to find in a world of rising prices, risky employment and rocketing debt. "There's no way we could afford that today," Laurie says. "Things have changed radically." Canary in a coal mine Michigan is a good place to help bring this story into focus, and not just because families like the Kopacks abound here. Michigan is the nation's economic story writ large: The state gave birth to the American middle class in the early years of the 20th Century, as rising productivity in the new auto industry boosted incomes for millions of working families. Today, though, Michigan's pain is a portent for what the rest of the nation might soon be feeling. Layoffs are rising as national unemployment is at the highest level in five years. High gas prices have crimped travel plans, with the Federal Highway Administration reporting that Americans have driven 53.2 billion miles less from last November through June than during the same period the year before. These economic pressures, known to Michigan families for years, are increasing elsewhere. And, as a result, Americans everywhere are dialing down their lifestyles in ways large and small. They are giving up vacations and putting off trips to the dentist. They're dropping out of health clubs. They're packing their lunch instead of buying it, taking in roommates to share living expenses. Some of the adjustments, like Ron Kopack's summer in a tent city, run counter to what most Americans think of as their promised standard of living. In Oregon City, Ore., landscaper Gordon Westfall, 39, still walks with a limp two years after an accident mangled his foot because he and his wife, April, could not afford health insurance. Like Ron Kopack's months-long exile from home in search of work, Gordon Westfall's limp doesn't show up in the nation's economic statistics. But it says a lot about how Americans live today. Political scientist Hacker, in his book "The Great Risk Shift: The New Economic Inequality and the Decline of the American Dream," wrote that the American dream itself is at risk. "It is a fixed American belief that people who work hard, make good choices and do right by their families can buy themselves permanent membership in the middle class," he says. "The rising tide of economic risk swamps these expectations." Trying times Some ideas to help working families might emerge from this year's presidential campaign. Repeated campaign trips to Michigan by Democratic candidate Barack Obama and Republican John McCain demonstrate that, if nothing else, the nation is focusing on economic issues. But in the meantime, Laurie Kopack expects Ron to spend many more months on the road. Ron is slowly moving up the list of unionized electricians on a job-call list in the Detroit area. Several hundred names remain on the list ahead of him. When he moved into his tent city in Iowa, Ron met other electricians from Michigan, and he and a few of the men bought a refrigerator and installed it in their campground. But they had to padlock it when they were away so others didn't steal their food. For Laurie, the image of itinerant workers living in tents reminds her of photos of Depression-era Civilian Conservation Corps camps. She says the late songwriter Woody Guthrie, who put the Great Depression to song, should come back to write an anthem for today's struggling families. "These are historical times, I'm afraid," Laurie says. And she gives a small, mirthless laugh. Contact JOHN GALLAGHER at 313-222-5173 or gallagher@freepress.com. |

Down Economy Only Means OpportunityBy Michael Cassidy
We cannot avoid the headlines covering the economy, splashed with photos of Wall Street employees carting personal effects out of their offices or holding their heads in their hands on the floor of the stock exchange. Banks and bankers running scared, foreign banks drooling over the prospect of owning United States based financial firms, we consumers waiting for the next round of bad news and our fearless politicians running to the microphones in order to save our day and futures.
Future is Yours...want it?
I'm here to tell you, the future is ours, however, only if we want it. I will not share wondrous fairly tales of great riches at every turn, however, I will offer a practical perspective that is easy to adopt. Despite working full-time plus in the non-profit industry, I recently became involved in the network marketing business and I am having the time of my life. Additionally, I have never felt more in control of the destiny of myself and my family. This is no sales pitch and I will not even share the business I am involved with in this article. Unemployment is rising and credit is hard to come by even with stellar ratings -- not good signs for any business. In network marketing, I am in charge of my plan, my path, and my success or failure. I do not rely on an employer in determining my success or potential income -- for the first time in twenty-years, I AM IN CONTROL of my future.
Make a Match
In researching business opportunities I researched many franchises, businesses for sale, and home-based businesses. Despite feeling secure in my employment, the old expression always rings in the back of my mind: "you never know". Throughout my research I ran into a friend that invited me to a meeting. Now, I can just imagine everyone rolling their eyes -- how many meetings have we been invited to and had the forms placed in front of us as our heads were still spinning? This meeting was different -- sure it had the contagious energy, however, the data and products presented matched my family's lifestyle perfectly. I had found my match. I don't recommend becoming a network marketing opportunity meeting groupie, but it does not hurt to attend a few. It is important to find that match.
Know Your Keys
The business opportunity had to have four key elements for me to sign on the bottom line (after reading the fine print - making sure we could keep our first born): great product(s), great support, part-time, and would challenge me as I grew within it. Before hunting out that great business venture, make sure that you think about and fine-tune your requirements and expectations (keep them realistic). I have actually turned people down to join me in this business because just through conversation I determined it was not a match for them and they would not likely achieve success. I saved them their enrollment fees and some future disappointment.
With products we believe in, it is easy to tell everyone on the planet about how great they are -- we want to rush on the rooftops and let the world know -- it is exciting. I love the products I represent and hope I can share them with the world. Imagine my excitement when I sat in that meeting and knew I had found the perfect match for me and my family. I've been sharing it since along with the business opportunity and it has been a great experience.
In regard to support, some opportunities sign you up and then set you free, others hold your hand for months or years -- I was looking for something in the middle yet had the hand-holding when I felt it was necessary. I am new to this, it is part-time, and I don't like to be pushed. Know your needs in regard to support prior to researching your opportunities.
Lastly, I wanted an opportunity to grow personally and professionally in addition to a business opportunity. I am a firm believer in being a life-long learner, and I am learning more part-time now that I ever did as a full-time college student. Each day presents new and exciting challenges and I have been exposed to so many new skills as I navigate through my new journey.
Headlines or Deadlines
We are fortunate to live in the land of the free and home of the brave. The choice is ours in regard to the current economic climate -- do we place our hands in the fate of politicians, bankers, or Wall Streeters or do we take control and determine our own destiny. I recommend everyone take steps to ensure their future is in their own hands, it provides a great level of comfort and security. All of the activities I perform part-time lead to my success. I had set a personal deadline of finding an opportunity before the end of 2008, with that big item checked off the list I am slowly working on the many remaining. What is your deadline? I wish you the best of luck and the greatest prosperity.
Michael Cassidy is a proven non-profit executive known for team development and operational turn-around. He has applied his skills to network marketing and is finding success and does all he can to share it with the world. He is always looking for new team members to join him on the exciting journey.

MLM and the Current Financial Problems
There is a lot of talk and coverage from the media the last few months about the current financial problems the US economy is facing that threatens to drag the whole world into a global recession. But what will be the consequences of that crisis to the MLM industry?
Actually, the MLM network marketing industry is to benefit from all this turmoil for many reasons whether we dive into a recession or hopefully manage to avoid it. First let us take the worst case scenario that we do get into a recession or even a depression.
In that case, many corporations will start lay offs in a big scale and many people will find themselves unemployed, while others under reduced salary. Such things could lead to an increase in the people who are looking for opportunities in order to start a home based business and supplement their income. Of course the great increase won't come for those who lost their job, as they would be desperately looking for a new job to survive, but from the rest. It would come from people who will keep their jobs, but would keep feeling a constant threat that their job is the next in the line if another round of lay offs would happen. Probably a percentage of them would be working under reduced salary, so they would have another incentive to start looking for alternatives to supplement their income, as probably their paycheck wouldn't suffice.
Many MLM opportunities are poised to benefit from that influx of new members and many distributors would manage to fill their downlines fast and build networks that would give them passive income in the years to come.
But even if we hopefully manage to avoid a crisis and things would go back to normal, many people took their lesson from what little we have experienced till now. While not in a big scale we still had lay offs, and many people saw their investments in the stock market falling. Investments that were supposed to provide for them when they reach the age of retirement. Add to that that the decline in the house prices hurt a lot of people that were relying on the increasing value of their homes in order to draw equity from them through refinancing to cover a part of their expenses, and you realize how hard people were hit.
Under all this, it is natural that many people learned how dangerous is when you rely on others for your economic future and are going to seek for alternatives. Alternatives like having and running your own home based business instead of relying exclusively to employment for a source of income. And of course a percentage of them will get into MLM as it is offering many advantages that is very difficult to be found in other business models.
Learn the tips and tricks that can help you succeed in MLM and build a big downline in any network marketing opportunity. Knowledge is vital when it comes to building your home business in any multilevel marketing company and you should always allocate a percentage of your time to your training as it would define your future success.

There is no question that network marketing and MLM are powerful home business models. Many people have earned substantial residual incomes with this business. However, statistics say that many people starting a network marketing home business will quit within their first 90 days. Why is this?
How do you know what to look for? Consider this story about a gardener and a network marketer who both get off to a good start but give up too quickly. I know this may sound silly, but bear with me.
Our gardener rents a small, fertile plot of land from his neighbor. He plants his garden to provide food for his family. He has never raised a garden before, but has ideas about what it will take and does some reading on the subject. He tills the soil, plants his seeds, and makes sure everything is watered in. He takes care to check his garden daily for weeds and insect pests.
At the same time, our network marketer plants his own seeds by advertising his business in several different places. He is new to network marketing, but is following the training provided by his upline.
After one week, our gardener finds a few seedlings sprouting from the soil. He is delighted, and continues checking his garden daily and watering regularly. Our network marketer receives a few inquiries about his business and is diligently following up. Both are pleased and feel they are going in the right direction.
After two weeks, a lot more seeds are sprouting in our garden, and some weeds too. Our gardener diligenty pulls the weeds and keeps everything going. At this point his work is increasing, but he is more than happy to keep at it. Our network marketing business builder receives a few more inquiries, and places some more ads.
Now three weeks have passed, and our new garden is starting to take off and grow fast. The seeds that sprouted the first week are now big plants, but so far have not yielded a harvest. Our networker is feeling okay about his prospects, but still hasn't sponsored his first associate.
After six weeks, our gardener finds that the seeds he planted so long ago have become pretty big plants, and many are nearing the stage where they will begin to produce a crop. Our network marketing guy has sponsored one new associate from all his efforts.
At this point our gardener has second thoughts. He has put in a lot of work for six weeks, but has no vegetables to show for it. Frustrated and tired, he quits tending his garden. He is saying to himself, "This just didn't work. Look at the time and effort I put into this, money too, and I have nothing. Gardening doesn't work!"
Just two weeks later, his neighbor gathers 15 pounds of potatoes, a dozen nice tomatoes, and a bushel of beans. This is only the initial harvest - there is much more to come. He is puzzled. It just doesn't make sense that the gardener quit so close to the harvest he had worked so hard to enjoy.
At the same time, I'm afraid our network marketer has second thoughts too. He says "I have put in all this time and effort, spent $500 on advertising, and all I have to show for it is one new associate. Network marketing doesn't work!"
When our networker quit, guess what happened? He lost everything he had worked toward. His sponsor and upline will now reap the rewards of his hard work and the seeds he planted.
I'm afraid that many people quit at a similar point in the growth of their business. It isn't unusual to start out, and two months later only have one or two new distributors in your group. You were likely expecting many more new associates by now, but is this really the time to give up? Not at all!
Growing a business, just like growing a garden, takes time, effort, and money. Don't let yourself get discouraged just at the point when things are primed to start happening. Make a one year minimum commitment to your business and do the right things. You will be rewarded!

The Real Truth About MLM And Network Marketing
The Real Truth About MLM And Network Marketing
http://www.corsavoo.com/networking/0,2577,454615,00.htmlThere are many reasons people fail in MLM. They may have gotten involved in a bad company with a poor compensation plan. The products may not be top quality or anything special, so there is no demand for them. They may have received little training, poor training, or even no training at all. They might have been abandoned by their sponsor. They may have had the wrong expectations-- thinking that the money will come pouring in without any effort on their part. But the biggest reason for MLM and network marketing failure is giving up!
On the other hand, compare this to traditional entrepreneurship, which has its problems, too. I am a college business professor, and I’ve had traditional businesses of my own, so I know the odd of success in starting up a traditional business are that 9 clean carpets of 10 new business will fail the first year. And then there is another 4 in 5 chance that those businesses who survived the first year will fail to make it to the fifth year.
Wow, when you consider the amount of money spent and/or borrowed to get those businesses running, that’s pretty scary! Add to that the time involved in running a small business. professional carpet cleaning people put in 60+ hours a week, for less income than a job would give them. I’ve often seen dreamers who started their own traditional business find themselves crashing and burning with reality as they lost their credit, their homes, and in some cases marriages and families. Ouch!
I believe in entrepreneurship! I believe in the dream of having your own business-- no boss, no time card. Freedom to set your own hours, work where you want, live where fabric cleaning want, spend time with your family, travel and take time off whenever you want. Freedom. That’s what its all about! And it’s not traditional business that brings this freedom, it’s network marketing.
I’ll take the odds in MLM and network marketing any day! I’ll tell you why. If the 95% failure figure is correct, then it’s including all the people who just sign up to try the product, or decide for whatever reason they don’t want to work the business.
The truth is, for those who really want to work at this business, 95% of all people who stay with their network marketing company for 10 years will reach the highest level of their company’s compensation and upholstery cleaners which is usually at least $500,000 annually. And the income needed to start and run a network marketing business is nominal compared to a traditional business!
I’ll take those odds any day! You see, all you need to do is:
1) Find the best network marketing company you can.
2) Commit to learning and working your business.
3) And don’t quit.
Success in MLM and network marketing is a choice. Choose to do it!
I can do that. How about you?

Lessons from Network Marketing
From David Teten & Scott Allen, for About.com
Network marketing, or multi-level marketing, is one of the fastest-growing business models of the past few decades. Between 1993 and 2003, total direct selling revenues grew by 7.1% annually, dramatically above the rate of growth of the economy -- and of total retail sales (according to the Direct Selling Association).
The most prominent examples of direct selling companies include Amway, Avon, Mary Kay, Nu Skin, and Herbalife, which recently went public. In 2003, U.S. total direct selling sales totaled more than $29 billion, or almost 1% of the over $3,397 billion for total U.S. retail sales (U.S. Census Bureau).
Any business model that has achieved this kind of success probably has lessons that all business people can learn from. We define this family of business models as a method of distribution in which people are paid for sales volume generated by people they have recruited into the distribution network. 20% of American adults reported they are now (6%) or have been (14%) a direct selling representative -- defined as "the sale of a consumer product or service, person-to-person, away from a fixed retail location." In 2000, 55% of American adults reported having, at some time, purchased goods or services from a direct selling representative.
A significant number of network marketers have negative experiences with the industry. That is why 70% of all people who have ever been a direct selling representative are no longer in the industry. For the purposes of this column, we will not go into the challenges and problems in the network marketing model. There are plenty of Web sites on that topic.
We all work for ourselves. Gone are the days of being a "company man" -- your career is your business. Multi-level marketing just makes that explicit. Yet one of the things that makes the sector most attractive, the low barrier to entry, also creates some its greatest dangers. Many people get into it without the necessary skills to run a successful business.
We are primarily interested in what lessons all business people can learn from successful network marketing practices. We recently interviewed some of the industry's top experts and found seven lessons that all sales and marketing professionals can use to be more effective, regardless of their industry:
Every business is a relationship-based business
So says John Milton Fogg, founding editor of Networking Times, author of The Greatest Networker in the World, and one of the most successful teachers of network marketing. You cannot sell an inferior product with a superior relationship, but you need at least a functional relationship to sell your product. That is particularly apparent in multi-level marketing, an industry built around belly-to-belly sales.
Think analytically about your network
Shaul Gabbay, in his book Social Capital in the Creation of Financial Capital: The Case of Network Marketing, reports that the fastest-rising group of entrepreneurs [of the direct selling representatives whom he studied] were those who had initial weak ties to dense networks. In other words, successful salespeople penetrate an untouched market, and then work to gain a high market share in that market. This is easier to do if that untouched market is highly dense; everyone in it knows all the players. Why? Because word of mouth in that type of network will spread more rapidly about the value of your product or service. This principle is particularly evident in network marketing, an industry where "networks go to work." However, the same idea applies to almost any business.
Create a community around your product
One of the great ironies of the software business is that not only do many software companies outsource their development off shore; many also outsource their customer support to their own customers! When Best Software encourages you to visit their user forums to discuss your issues in using Act! software, that is a very cheap way for Best to support their product. Multi-level marketing companies rely almost exclusively on their communities for sales, support, follow-up, and recruiting.
Leverage the unleveraged
In 2002, 79.9% of the direct selling sales force was female. 56% completed only a partial college education, technical or trade school, or have only a high school education. This sales force looks very unlike the traditional American corporate sales force, which typically is much more male and has a higher level of education. However, the direct selling sales force looks just like their customers. People can be very effective salespeople when selling to their own community, because the common culture and interests create a foundation to build strong relationships more quickly.
Build a relationship first
"Internet marketers and network marketers share a common, terminal disease," Fogg says. "If you think of the whole process like dating, we bring someone to our Web site, and then we ask them to have sex immediately. There has to be some courtship first." One of the delicate aspects of network marketing is that people leverage their personal relationships to sell a product. Although that leverage makes some people queasy, the success of the network marketing model shows that many people do comfortably build multiplex relationships: Their friends are their customers, and vice versa. With delicacy, you can do the same thing.
Not everyone is a prospect
One mistake some network marketers make, as do many other sales people and marketers, is thinking of everyone they meet as a prospect. In network marketing, this is known as the "Three-Foot Rule", i.e., anyone within three feet of you is a prospect. But top network marketers don't do this. Max Steingart, creator of the "Success Online" training course for network marketers, says that it's not just about figuring out when to make your pitch, but even if to make your pitch. "You just build relationships with a lot of people. Some will become prospects and some won't," he says. "There's no timetable. If the time is right, you'll know."
Use online networks
The network marketing industry is a particularly good industry for leveraging online networks. Steingart teaches people how to "make the world your warm market," specifically by using online networks. He reports that when he instant-messages someone to start a conversation about potentially joining his distribution network, 50% of the people he contacts will respond to the conversation. More and more sales and marketing professionals will use online networks to accelerate their sales.
What else can traditional businesses learn from the best practices of successful network marketers? We welcome your comments and feedback.

6 Ways to Generate the Best MLM Leads
From Lisa Willard, for About.com
Leads are essential for any successful network marketing business. But where do you find the best multi-level marketing (MLM) leads? Is it lead generation, or do you buy leads? What’s the best way? Good question.
You need prospects for your business and customers to purchase products. Without the two, your business will not exist. So what is the answer?
Should you generate your own, or should you buy leads from a respectable leads company?
The answer isn’t as simple as you may think. Generating leads and having people come to you is the best scenario. And it works. It does take time. But in the end, it gets results.
Generating the best MLM leads is both a skill and an art that can be learned. One of the important factors to remember is that you are talking to real people. It’s not about you. It’s about them. Find out their feelings, their goals and wants. Then provide a solution. Build a relationship and then a partnership.
The fact is most people don’t care about your company, pay plan, etc. They care about finding a solution to their problem.
The good news. You can produce your own MLM leads. Today, the Internet has allowed us to do just that. There are many different ways to product the best MLM leads, but here are a few of my favorites:
1. A Personal Website.
Learn to sell yourself. Why should someone join you? What makes you unique? And what value and expertise do you bring to the partnership? Answer these questions on your Website. Sell “you.”
2. Use an Auto responder.
As leads visit your Website, offer a “free report or newsletter.” This will build your subscriber list and allow you to communicate with your prospects. Use it to provide valuable information. Timing is everything. If the timing isn’t right today, it may be next year. Be that person who has stayed in touch.
3. Have a plan.
You will need to set goals and stick to them. Be consistent and stay focused.
4. Write articles.
Article writing is a great avenue for building a presence online. Submit these articles to e-zines and newsletters. Articles are powerful because you can present yourself as an expert in your industry.
5. Create a blog.
Blogging is fun and it allows you to write freely to your niche. Blog posts can be various lengths. Blog regularly and watch your traffic grow.
6. Learn to Squidoo.
Anyone can do it. It’s simple, fun and it allows you to monetize your marketing. I’ve created some of my best MLM leads through Squidoo.
Generating the best MLM leads is a process that won’t happen over night. But it will happen. Pick one or two lead generating avenues and master those. Then, when you are ready add one more and repeat.

Work harder, take home less
From 2000 to 2007, worker productivity rose significantly in the United States, but real income fell for middle-class families, a group of economists says.By David Goldman, CNNMoney.com staff writer Last Updated: August 28, 2008: 7:05 AM EDT NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- For most of the past decade, the economy grew much stronger - but middle-class Americans had little to show for it. That's the conclusion of a trio of economists who on Thursday released a preview of their book The State of Working America in 2008/2009 due out next year. Despite two periods of recession in the past decade, U.S. worker productivity still rose 18% in the 2000s - about 2.5% per year, according to author Jared Bernstein, a widely followed economist from the liberal-leaning Economic Policy Institute. But inflation-adjusted income for the American middle-class family actually fell during the same period. The median real income for working-age middle-income families in the United States dropped $2,000 between 2000 and 2007, from about $58,500 to $56,500, the U.S. Census Bureau reported Tuesday. As a result, the 2000-2007 business cycle was the first ever in which the nation's middle-class families had less real income at the end than when they started. "It's a compelling example of a large disconnect," said Bernstein. "Americans aren't being rewarded for their productivity." That's a stark change from 1989 to 2000, when the median income for working-age middle class families rose 10% - about half of the productivity growth over the same period, according to EPI. Had the trend of the '90s continued, the median income of working-age households would have risen by $3,600 instead of falling in the 2000s. Not every economist agrees with that assessment. "The numbers are misleading, because you need to take into account everything that workers are earning, including substantially more in health care and retirement plans," said James Sherk, the Bradley Fellow in Labor Policy at the conservative-leaning Heritage Foundation. Weak job market Bernstein said the middle class has not taken out an equal share of what it put into the economy because of weak job creation during the decade and a widening gap between rich and poor. "This is a story of missed opportunity," Bernstein said. The nation suffered through a weak job market in the 2000s. Jobs grew only 0.6% during the period, which wasn't enough to keep up with the growing population, the EPI said. As a result, there were 1.5 million more unemployed workers at the end of the business cycle than at the beginning. "The official unemployment rate understated how difficult it was to find a job in the 2000s," said EPI economist Heidi Schierholtz. "The U.S. jobs creation machine came to a screeching halt after the 2001 recession and barely picked up steam in the recovery." Schierholtz cowrote The State of Working America with Bernstein and another EPI economist, Lawrence Mishel. The book was originally published in 1988; the new edition includes updated chapters on jobs, wages and income. According to the book, the economy took four years to return to the previous peak jobs level after the 2001 recession - an unprecedented amount of time. The recovery took more than twice as long as the 21-month average of all other recoveries after 1945. Jobs weren't helped by a second round of very weak economic growth toward the end of the cycle. "The economy of the 2000s has been like shampoo instructions: Bubble, bust, repeat," Bernstein said. "We need to generate growth that's sustainable, not on bubbles." By the end of the business cycle, nearly one in five unemployed workers had been out of a job for at least half a year. Furthermore, one in 11 workers were underemployed in the 2000s, as they were looking for full-time work but involuntarily took part time jobs. Workers' hours were cut by 2.2% in the 2000s, which negated the median family's 1% rise in hourly wages. Sherk said, however, that unemployment levels are comparable to other decades other than the 1990s, when the tech bubble added a disproportionate number of jobs to the economy. "Unemployment is high compared to the late '90s, but not the '80s," Sherk said. "It's not unusually high, especially when you consider that the labor force hasn't grown as rapidly this decade as it did in the 90s." Increased inequality Another finding from the book:Many middle class Americans who had jobs probably found that their bosses were getting big raises, while their paychecks were staying about the same. That's because 90% of the growth in U.S. workers' income from 1989 to 2007 went to the top 10% highest earners, EPI said. Income for the top 1% grew 204% since 1989, and the top 0.1% saw their income grow 425% in that span. But Sherk said the top earners are rarely the same today as they were five years ago. "This is coming from people who weren't in the top 1% before," he said. "Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, the Google founders. It looks like they're getting more than their share, but it's actually something else: They're all setting new high standards," Sherk said. Still, the gap continues to grow. In 2006, the top 1% held the highest share of total U.S. income since 1928, according to EPI. "There was a vast disconnect in what people earned with what they produced," said EPI's Mishel.

Network marketing - a get rich quick scheme?
No! BIG resounding no. Do not listen to the person telling you about their opportunity if they are telling you it’s a quick thing. They are either telling untruths or wanting you to join for the wrong reasons.
Do not expect overnight results. Network marketing is not about getting rich quick, it’s about getting wealthy over a reasonable period of time. As with most things, to succeed in network you need to go through a process of understanding, learning and application. It’s about building yourself to a level where you can carry a hugely successful business and be responsible for it.
I believe that people get what they deserve in life. It’s another one of those difficult things to take but it’s true. The successful and rich around you have sacrificed something to get what they have. They will have invested time, commitment, hard work into what they have. You look at them saying they are lucky but you do not see the effort that went in and probably still goes in now. So if you want to succeed not just in network marketing but in any thing, ask yourself what you are willing to give up to get what you want. That might be TV time, social time or lie ins at the weekend so you can dedicate some time to applying yourself to the task in hand that will give you the results you want.
If you are willing to go through the journey life will give you what you want. I’m investing in myself in order to get what I want.
